I was at a friend’s in Vancouver when two Mormons approached. As we engaged in conversation, I felt led to ask the older of the two, who was carrying the discussion, if he could say he loved the Lord Jesus. “I don’t know what you mean,” he replied. “Do you mean, do I admire him?” “No,” I insisted, “do you love Him?” “I don’t understand what you mean,” he repeated. “Are you married?” I asked. “Yes, I am.” “And do you love your wife?” “Yes, I do,” he said with a smile.” “Ah, you do know what I mean! Let me ask you again, Do you love the Lord Jesus?” “No, I can’t say that I do,” he replied honestly. I turned to those solemn words: “If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed” (1 Cor 16:22). I then explained his options. If you won’t love Him, you are rejecting His curse-bearing for you, so you must bear it yourself forever. But if you don’t love Him, then do love Him! You will love Him if you, as a poor sinner, meet Him as your Savior at the cross. — J.B.N.
